Waste water connection
The waste water of the humidifying system of the CONDITIONER™ is automatically pumped out if
required.
It can be pumped into a waste water disposal line via a siphon or as an option into a waste water
container of approx 10 litres in size.
CAUTION
Backpressure in the humidity module.
Damage of the equipment by excess-voltage.
¾
The outlet must be absolutely free of counter-pressure along its entire length
¾
Ensure correct installation of the waste water connection.
Fasten the waste water hose to the connection (G) on the provided appliance (tube clip
∅
14 mm).
Observe the following points:
•
You can use a part of the delivered tap water hose as a drainage hose. In case another hose is used,
it has to be permanently resistant against at least 95°C.
•
The waste water hose must be inclined at a gradient of at least 1 cm per meter.
•
Never place the waste water hose at a positive inclination because otherwise the humidity module
could fill with water during clearing.
•
Protect both ends of the drainage hose with two of the four delivered hose clamps.
•
Set up the waste water connection via a siphon, if possible ventilated, or via a one way valve, in order
to balance air pressure fluctuation in the waste water system and not to transmit it into the steam
generator. Pressure fluctuation inside the steam generator can cause humidity fluctuation in the
Datacolor CONDITIONER™ inner chamber.
•
If using a waste water container, ensure the waste water pipe is firmly connected to the waste water
container being used. Check and empty the waste water container regularly
•
If using a water tank for water supply instead of water supply direct from the mains, the tank for the
waste water should have around the same volume as the tank for the water supply. In this way, if the
waste water tank is emptied whenever the supply water tank is refilled there is no possibility of
flooding of the waste water tank.
•
The waste water tank must be wide and shallow, and must not be too tall, to ensure that the upper fill
level in the tank is not higher than the highest level of the water hose
CAUTION
Danger of flooding of the waste water container.
¾
In case of fresh water supply via water tap: Check the fill level of the waste water
container daily in the morning and in the evening and empty the container in time.
¾
In case of fresh water supply via water tank: Empty the waste water container before
refilling the fresh water tank.
